    gcc-plugins: Explicitly document purpose and deprecation schedule · 8bd51a2b
    Kees Cook authored
    
    GCC plugins should only exist when some compiler feature needs to be
    proven but does not exist in either GCC nor Clang. For example, if a
    desired feature is already in Clang, it should be added to GCC upstream.
    Document this explicitly.
    
    Additionally, mark the plugins with matching upstream GCC features as
    removable past their respective GCC versions.
